This is a walk through of the physical plant and layout of our micro hydro power system. I had to film it in two parts.

  • How many houses can that thing power?

  • @Thetrutv

    Our turbine as we have it currently set can produce a maximum of 620 watts which works out to be 14, 880 watts per day (basically 15 KW). The amount of power obivously varies based on how much water is flowing. Last night, we were producing only 530 watts as we haven't had significant rain in several weeks.

    15 KW is quite a bit for an off the grid house. I have hear of people who only use about 4 KW/day so it could handle more than one, but normally 1 turbine per house.
